If you just like to tinker and thats why you are trying to fix it, good luck, there probably isnt anywhere to find that information. The only reason I say that is the cost of wired keyboards have come down so much in price that they are almost not worth trying to repair. When something like this happens to one that is under warranty the companys just replace them and the old one goes in the trash. Its usually not worth the time or money to try to repair them.Sorry I cant help with where the wires need to be connected, but just thought I would offer my 2cents worth.

You could try cutting the bad cable between the torn wires and the keyboard and then sacrificing another USB cable by cutting off the end you need along with as much wire as required, then stripping the ends of the two cables, match wire colors between the cables and soldering the connections. Wrap electrical tape around each connection and then tape all the connections together. Might work. New keyboards are usually available for less than $10 at various stores like Big Lots, K-mart, Walmart. Probably not economic to fix the thing unless it was an expensive mechanical gaming keyboard.

That will depend on the manufacture and features of the keyboard. It could be anything from an indicator that a wireless keyboard is connected to the receiving device to an indicator a wireless Keyboard needs new batteries or that some function like the number pad is active. You will need to look up the light in the operators manual. In most cases if you don't have that manual you can download from the manufacturer website.

Please add more information to get specific assistance. Are these wireless devices? If wired, do they use USB or PS/2 connections.

For wireless devices, try replacing the batteries and resynching to the receiver. (You may want to check putting the receiver in different USB ports.)

For wired devices, disconnect and reconnect. For PS/2 devices, you will need to restart the computer to check if the devices work. For USB devices, try connecting to different USB ports.

Next step, try using a different keyboard and mouse (that work on another computer (stick to USB or PS/2 to match the current pair)). Try a wired set if the problem is with a wireless pair. If those work, continue diagnostics on the wireless keyboard and mouse. Check if the mouse and keyboard work on another computer. If they don't work with another computer, replace them.

If another USB keyboard and mouse pair don't work in any port, your USB ports may have failed. Check if even one port works enough to access the Device Manager. (Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Device Manager (Win7); similar directions in other versions of Windows) Check for a problem with the drivers (For USB ports, scroll down to the USB drivers and look for a triangle with a yellow exclamation point or red x). Try to update the driver or roll it back. If that doesn't help and one USB port works, a USB hub may solve the problem.

Otherwise if the USB or PS/2 ports do not work with any devices and the driver fix doesn't work, then I'd suspect a problem with the ports on the motherboard. Replace the motherboard/computer.

So your Toshiba laptop keyboard isn't working like it should? Whether your keyboard problem resulted from liquid spill, a hard bump, or you simply wore it out, you don't have to worry about investing in a new laptop, you can fix your keyboard problems with a simple swap. The good news is that fixing a Toshiba keyboard does not take much technical skill. In fact, Toshiba keyboards are among the easiest laptops to repair.

1.Remove the bezel just above the keyboard. You will notice a tin strip of plastic located just above the keyboard. This strip is called the keyboard bezel and you remove it by gently prying the edge up with your small standard screwdriver. Work your way across the bezel lifting it as you go. The bezel is a snap in unit so be sure to be gentle, as you work your way across.2.Remove the keyboard screws. With the bezel removed, you will find three or four screws at the top of the keyboard. Using your small Philips head screw driver, remove these screws and place them in a safe spot where you will not lose them.3.Remove the keyboard. With the screws removed, gently lift the keyboard from top to bottom. You will notice a ribbon of wires connected from the keyboard to the laptop. Lean the keyboard forward so that you can access the ribbon wire connection.4.Remove the ribbon wire. Take your standard screw driver and gently push up the bracket locks on both sides of the ribbon wire socket. These bracket locks slide up slightly as you push to release the wire.5.Plug in the replacement keyboard. Just as you removed the old keyboard, you will now push the ribbon wire from you replacement into the ribbon socket. With the small screw driver, push the brackets back into place to secure the ribbon.6.Screw the replacement keyboard back into place. Using one screw, attach the keyboard. With the keyboard held into place by the single screw, start the computer and test the replacement keyboard. Once tested, replace the remaining screws.7.Insert the bezel above the keyboard. With the keyboard now secured by all of the screws, place the bezel back over its opening and snap it back into place. Start at one end and work your way across.

Hello galis, I'm not sure which browser you are using unfortunately however that can play a fairly large role in situations such as these. Since I don't know what to troubleshoot for I'll just throw a couple recommendations out there and hopefully one works for you. If you are running a newer version of Internet Explorer, I would recommend trying to run the page in compatibility mode (Page > Compatibility View). If this isn't the case then I would recommend trying different browsers to see if any of them run the program better. Mozilla Firefox is a free browser at www.mozilla.com and Google Chrome is a free browser at www.google.com/chrome. If you are using Internet Explorer and would prefer to stick with it, you may want to consider updating your browser by going to www.microsoft.com and downloading the latest version of the browser/updating. Hopefully this solves your farmville problem. Have a great day galis!
